Nintendo fans, people that play video games all the time, that still haven't figured out that Nintendo has never made something called the Game Boy Advanced. That's nearly 18 years of being corrected by search engines every time and never correctly reading the packaging of any of the games, anyone else's posts about it, or the big logo on the front of the handheld itself.

It’s to keep the problem in current discussion. I don’t know if you noticed, but people have a bad habit of forgetting about things very, very quickly. So the way to get people to constantly harass companies to force them to try change their ways to be less lovely, is to constantly bring up the problems (while hopefully pointing out possible solutions as well) so that it doesn’t just fade away.

When someone doesn't even wait for you to finish before they respond or try to argue with you. Wait a drat second, I wasn't done speaking, you will find out more info if you just let me finish these words! On the flipside, people who get flustered and don't know how/when to finish their sentences, so they verbally trip over themselves preemptively to blurt out asmuchastheycanohandohand....

Interrupters are the worse especially when both people arguing do it and it devolves into back and forth "let me finish" louder and louder until someone walks out or someone butts in to change the subject. This seemed to happen with my former boss at basically every academic conference when someone disagreed with him. The second thing though I have trouble with sometimes, although instead of the blurting things out at the end they just kind of peter out. Those are pretty hard to recover because people will think you're losing it if you say "sorry, I forgot what I was going to say" too much, and saying "i'm done with that sentence, stop looking at me expectantly, i got nothing else" is also pretty weird, but, well, there it is.

Why do delivery food places have such absurdly short character limits for delivery instructions? I'm trying to help you loving idiots so you don't drive around for half an hour listening to the gps that isn't right while my food gets cold. I could have told you the information you need if you didn't limit me to like 20% of a tweet. Are you concerned about data costs or something by receiving messages that are like 150 characters instead of 25? Are you that cheap?

I’ve definitely seen idiots online try to put wacky poo poo into the delivery instructions and similar fields. Some of that is gonna be stdh but I don’t doubt there’s people trying to include delivery people in their ~wacky~ lives. Idk if it’s worth it since drivers also probably appreciate knowing where the gently caress to go, especially if they are on strict time limita and/or paying their own gas. I’ve seen people do that poo poo irl, too. That’s a peeve: basically no employee anywhere wants to deal with your stupid rear end pranks. I’m thinking that Pickle Rick McDonald’s harasser. Also, irl, I’ve seen a pack of dudes go into subway wearing those realistic animal masks and have one dude order while the rest glared down the staff, and at a bar I worked at we had to throw out a dozen or so idiots trying to do a flash mob.

The vast majority of people seem annoyed or confused when flash mobs start doing their thing, I rarely see people actually enjoy watching/listening to them. Even if you try to understand it from the "wanting attention" thing it doesn't make sense because individuals don't really stick out in them. It just seems like pointless work that ultimately goes unappreciated and/or despised by the audience.

They want to be a part of something that people will be talking about the next day so they can tell everyone they were involved and bask in THAT attention. And some, I guess, genuinely just like to perform and misjudge how much others like to have a performance interrupt their day.

That's why prank phonecalls generally leave me cold. Chris Morris getting celebrities to talk Nonce Sense is both funny and makes a valuable point about trusting people just because they're famous. Annoying some guy in a call centre with your loving Arnold Schwarzenegger soundboard, who can't hang up because he's not allowed to and is watching his job performance rating drop as the call drags on, is just stupid. Stop wasting everyone's time.

This is a bit specific but it does annoy the poo poo out of me. When people act like whatever esoteric knowledge is commonly known in their field is also common knowledge to everyone, and anyone who doesn't know about it is an idiot. To elaborate, I work at an aquarium. As in any place that interacts with the public, people like to bitch in the break room about whatever stupid poo poo visitors did that day. This isn't the part that bugs me. People need to vent sometimes. What did bug me was one particular gal who worked in the backup areas, bitching about a visitor not knowing the difference between a skate and a ray. Me: Well, that's an easy mistake to make. They look similar and all- Her (in an obnioxiously snooty superior voice: No they don't. I felt a bit flustered at that point and ended up just reminding her that, unless you're currently going to school studying this stuff, you're liable to forget. After the fact though, it just made me so mad. Bitch I'm a loving marine biologist and even I would be hard pressed to tell you the difference between a skate and a ray! I'm sure I learned it in school, but I've long since forgotten. To the average Joe, they look the drat same! You'd be lucky if average Joe even knew there was such a thing as a skate! And even if it were some super obvious thing, you're working in a goddamn aquarium! Part of your job is to educate people so they know the difference between a skate and a ray! Don't act like people are stupid because they don't know! Pissed me off.

"Drive-thru" on signs at restaurants. It makes me mad every time I see it. Why is it universally misspelled? Do they think that leaving out letters makes people read it faster? Did some rear end in a top hat get a trademark on "drive-through" back in the 1800s so everyone else had to start using a different spelling?

Cats that don’t get socialized, raised, or otherwise treated like a pet. They’re standoffish weirdos by nature, but they get along with humans with a bare minimum of effort and why the gently caress would you own one if you don’t like or want a cat and the responsibilities it brings? They’re less high-maintenance than dogs but if you want a pretty decoration get a loving corn snake. There is a mean rear end cat that embodies this trope at work rn and OF COURSE his name is I poo poo you not “Prince Prettyboy.”
